â€śToday I am saddened to say we no longer see eye to eye â€“ at least not on his decision to pick Florida State over Gonzaga in the first round of the tournament,â€ť Gov. Ritter said. â€śThe fact is Gonzaga has been ranked a top 15 team most of the season and will be a very dangerous eight seed for any team to face in the tournament.â€ť

The governor facetiously urged the president to call for a congressional investigation. Ritter also launched one of his famous executive orders creating one of his famous Blue Ribbon panels to examine â€śwhere the selection committee went wrong.â€ť

Of course, the governor has a vested interest in all of this.

His second son, Abe, attends Gonzaga, in Spokane, Wash.

And Coloradoâ€™s own Matt Bouldin plays for Gonzaga.

â€śGonzaga is led this year by one of the best basketball players our state has produced in a long, long time,â€ť Ritter said. â€śHis pass-first mentality and leadership abilities have Gonzaga looking to make a deep run in this yearâ€™s tournament.â€ť

Bouldin attended ThunderRidge High School, where he was named the Colorado state player of the year as a junior and senior. As a senior at Gonzaga, Bouldin was named to the John R. Wooden All-American Team and is a finalist for the Loweâ€™s Senior Class Award.

Stop trying to distract us from the real issues, like Jared Polis getting up with a straight face and saying that Obama's health care plan is going to reduce dependence on government: http://www.whosaidyousaid.com/2010/03/polis-hea…. Who taught him math?
